Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Farhan Sufyan Borhan said: ''We arrived there an hour after the emergency call and the man was lying down in the living room and unable to move.

''The ambulance was too small and he wouldn't fit inside. We quickly sent our five-tonne lorry to the scene.

"It took us more than 30 minutes to carry him from the house to the lorry, using a thick cloth and hardwood as support.

''We don't get many cases where this happens. We just did the best we could but it wasn't easy lifting such a heavy man."
